The Palin Doctrine :)

What exactly is the purpose of a doctrine that has no content?
Here's the highly irrelevant factoid that I take away from mhaze's perplexing post: The term Palin Doctrine was used prior to the fanboy cited in the OP.

True, the presentation of this factoid followed a circuitous route that might confound readers unfamiliar with mhaze's opaque posting style. Bear in mind though, the contortions that are required in order to carry Palin's water on a skeptical forum are demanding indeed. Sometimes bailing out is the most viable option.

That and there is a growing number of search results for the actual phrase but less than there is for the actual doctrines of Bush and Obama. This thread will soon be a top hit if we keep typing "Palin Doctrine"

I don't understand his point at all. Is there an actual 'Palin Doctrine' and he won't tell us or is he arguing the the phrase 'palin doctrine' is in fact an actual combination of two words that has been combined since 2008?

either way

I don't know why you're asking this. Just go back to the original posts. It's pretty unambiguous. (Emphasis original)

No, it wasn't detailed in your misrepresentation. Let's pull the entire paragraph from your linky shall we?

On Libya she said "It would have been different." Remarking that the U.S. has a tradition of not criticizing the president's foreign policy on "foreign soil," she continued, "Certainly, there would have been more decisiveness, more commitment to those that are freedom fighters, that they know that America is on their side.

You are only repeating the misrepresentation provided by your sources (CNN) and their bias of course. Your linky does not state the specific actions.

So let's dig a bit deeper shall we? Uhh...well...if "deeper" means actually looking at the Sun article. Then we find...

The former GOP vice presidential candidate was being interviewed on February 23rd on national television by Sean Hannity on a range of issues. On the Libya crisis, she proposed a no-fly zone to protect the armed and un-armed opposition to the Qaddafi regime

Obaby is now following the Palin Doctrine?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Like I said, the idea is that SP proposed some kind of doctrine which BHO is now following after a period of dithering (God knows what in the world he might have been doing during that time when there's only one thing he needs to be doing which is deciding!).

Look at the bolded sections. More commitment -- immediate commitment, at that -- to "freedom fighters", including aerial bombardment against a nation that is not threatening the United States.

That's the Palin Doctrine, according to mhaze.

However, the Palin Doctrine according to Palin is ambiguous indeed, shifting like the desert sand in whatever direction Obama isn't going at the moment, real or imagined.
 
Palin is trying to understand US involvement in Libya -- involvement that she called for, up until it actually happened -- and is confused as to what it should be called...

Sarah Palin said:
I haven't heard the president say that we are at war. And that's why I too am not knowing if we use the term intervention, do we use war, do we use a squirmish, what is it?

 
Can't let Donald get all the attention for craziness. Here we see Sarah Palin once again showing that she cannot let go of a grudge. She had to make an unprovoked snipe at Katie Couric as she leaves CBS News. Sarah cannot forgive Couric for being such a horrible liberal media person who dared to ask her what magazines she read. Even for a politician, Palin's capacity for blaming others for her own shortcomings is nothing short of breathtaking.
 
I also feel that it was intended as a gotcha question.
A "gotcha" question? One about the foreign policy of the president she (and we) had good reason to believe she would eventually succeed?

No, she was posed NO "gotcha" questions. What she was asked was, at worst, softball questions asking, in hopeful terms, "We don't know you and you have no track record regarding the issues of the day. Do you have any idea at all what you are getting into?" A question any candidate should be asked.
 
I'm having trouble seeing any problem with those two statements. You've presented them as if they didn't jive with each other, is that it?

Jibe, not jive (unless they are indeed dancing together)

Verb
jibe (third-person singular simple present jibes, present participle jibing, simple past and past participle jibed)
(intransitive, nautical) To perform a jibe
(intransitive) To agree.
That explanation doesn't jibe with the facts.
(transitive, nautical) To cause to execute a jibe
[edit]Usage notes

"jive" and "jibe" are frequently used interchangeably in the U.S. to indicate the concept "to agree or accord". However, while one recent dictionary accepts this usage, most sources consider this an error.

Now that little comment would get you immediately butt-kicked off the bar stool down here. Get real, we have a dozen dialects at least here in the US and some of us can talk a number of them passably well. That's not counting the mashups of english and spanish or english and chinese.
 
For the record, I don't think we should make fun of politicians (or posters) because of their occasional misuse, mispronunciation or even manufacture of a word. I think all of us have done it at some time.

And personally, I think that "misunderestimate" is a great word.
 
I'm a fan of refudiate. Seriously.

So am I!

I remember when my little one would call my computer a "confuter".

She also had a pink zucchini (bikini)

We let her press the buttons to ride the alligator (elevator).

Children have fun with words!

So am I and a lot of people trying to understand US involvement in Libya. It's as if cops went into a neighborhood infested with gangs and started shooting into houses and groups of people indiscriminately but arrested no one. Brain dead use of deadly force is not what Palin suggested and defies any logical analysis, unless the intent is to make the US look brain dead and ineffectual.

This is a clear example of politicians and committees running military ops which we learned our lesson well on in Vietnam....never to do that.

Your acumen and sharp analysis covering the requisite misdirection needs additional facts to qualify as pious liberal progressive continuation of the smear Palin meme, does it not?

Wait....

So everything you said was a lie? Notwithstanding whether that is the gold standard of aspiration of you seek, yet agreeing with the general precept that you should be all you can be...

....being caught flat footed and blindsided by the wicked one shot huntress of the Northern moose is embarrassing, isn't it?

:rolleyes:

Ultimately, this kind of pettiness is Palin's worst flaw; she isn't "rogue" nor a rebel but just a pedestrian, garden-variety politician that caught the attention of some RNC wog, then rose one or two steps above her abilities and pay grade.

I have no idea what this word salad means. :confused: By all means, point out my "lie" with specificity.
